Enclosure Fire Dynamics
暫譯: 圍閉火災動力學

《圍 enclosure 火災動力學，第二版》探討了圍 enclosure 火災的科學以及它們如何改變著火建築物的環境。作者討論了控制圍 enclosure 火災的機制，以及如何發展有助於設計防火建築的分析關係。文中展示了從基本原理推導方程式的過程，說明假設並與實驗數據進行比較，提供計算範例以增進理解。該文本為讀者提供了解決各種工程方程式和問題所需的技能。

特色包括：
- 描述了隔間火災的爆發及其控制機制
- 從基本原理推導簡單的分析關係，並展示如何將推導出的方程式與實驗數據進行比較，提供計算範例以增進理解
- 提供計算程序並描述設計安全建築所需的電腦模型
- 引用最新的標準和參考資料
- 包含大量章節問題以測試學生讀者對火災行為的理解

Dr. Bjorn Karlsson received his B Sc degree from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland, and his PhD from the University of Lund, Sweden. He taught in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Lund, and was also a Visiiting Associate Professor at the University of Maryland. From 2006 to the present he has been a professor in the Department 0f Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Iceland. From 2001 to 2010 Dr. Karlsson also served as General Director in the Iceland Fire Authority (IFA); in 2011 he became Director General, and then permanent Director, of the Iceland Construction Authority (ICA), which is responsible for regulations in construction, and in electrical and fire safety, also houses the Fire Service Technical College.

Dr. James G. Quintiere received his PhD from New York University in 1970, and is currently Professor Emeritus, Department of Fire Protection, at the University of Maryland in College Park. He has over thirty years of experience in fire research and teaching, and has written the popular textbook PRINCIPLES OF FIRE BEHAVIOR, and co-authored ENCLOSURE FIRE DYNAMICS with Bjorn Karlsson. He has investigated numerous fire disasters, including the Branch Davidian Compound fire in Waco, Texas, and the 1986 New Year's Eve DuPont Plaza fire in Puerto Rico. His testimony during the civil trial on the Waco tragedy was pivotal to the jury's conclusion that the fires were not the result of federal authorities' actions. Dr. Quintiere is the author of more than 75 journal publications and reports, and is the past chair, International Association for Fire Safety Science. He is also the recipient of the Department of Commerce Bronze Medal (1976) and Silver Medal (1982).

Dr. Nils Johansson holds a PhD in fire dynamics, with his thesis on Fire Dynamics in Multi-Room Compartments. He has more than five years of experience of teaching fire dynamics, and he is currently Course Administrator for the courses Fire Dynamics and Advanced Fire Dynamics, at the division of Fire Safety Engineering at Lund University.

比約恩·卡爾森博士於蘇格蘭愛丁堡的赫瑞瓦特大學獲得理學士學位，並在瑞典隆德大學獲得博士學位。他曾在隆德大學的土木與環境工程系任教，並擔任馬里蘭大學的訪問副教授。自2006年至今，他一直是冰島大學土木與環境工程系的教授。從2001年到2010年，卡爾森博士還擔任冰島消防局（IFA）的總監；2011年，他成為冰島建築局（ICA）的總幹事，並隨後成為永久總幹事，該機構負責建築、電氣和消防安全的法規，並設有消防服務技術學院。

詹姆斯·G·昆提爾博士於1970年在紐約大學獲得博士學位，目前是馬里蘭大學消防保護系的名譽教授。他在消防研究和教學方面擁有超過三十年的經驗，並撰寫了廣受歡迎的教科書《火災行為原理》（PRINCIPLES OF FIRE BEHAVIOR），與比約恩·卡爾森共同撰寫了《圍 enclosure 火災動力學》（ENCLOSURE FIRE DYNAMICS）。他調查了多起火災災難，包括德克薩斯州韋科的分支大衛教派火災，以及1986年在波多黎各杜邦廣場的跨年夜火災。他在韋科悲劇的民事審判中的證詞對陪審團得出結論，認為火災並非由聯邦當局的行動所引起，起到了關鍵作用。昆提爾博士是75篇以上期刊出版物和報告的作者，曾擔任國際消防安全科學協會的主席。他還獲得了商務部銅獎（1976年）和銀獎（1982年）。

尼爾斯·約翰遜博士擁有火災動力學的博士學位，論文題目為《多房間隔間的火災動力學》。他在火災動力學教學方面擁有超過五年的經驗，目前是隆德大學消防安全工程系的火災動力學和高級火災動力學課程的課程管理員。
